angst cycle (iii) — [ζ] (xiii)

i’m actually
pretty exhausted
at the moment

what i’d like to do
is curl up with you
lie down to sleep
feel you with me there
very simple

it’s not just the cuddle
which is nice
the physical and emotional caress
which is nice
it’s the presence
the trust
the intimacy
the being

all so simple

i’m so aware
the language here
is so simple
too

but
really
you know
that’s apt

there’s nothing complex
now
with what i want with you
now

so basic
so human
so complete
so everyone

what i’d like with you
